Davies tore through the top order once again in the opening exchanges and snatched the lead from Tom Sykes in one swift motion into the final corner of the second lap with the 29-year-old never looking back.

The Kawasaki duo of Sykes and reigning champion Jonathan Rea were then left in Davies’ wake to battle it out for second and third.

With nine laps to go Rea finally made his move into the last turn as his team-mate ran wide allowing the Northern Irishman to move through at ease.

Sykes responded though following his mistake and hauled himself onto the back wheel of his team-mate and the pressure finally told at turn one with four laps to go as the usual metronomic Rea missed his braking point and ran off track to hand Sykes a second-placed finish.

Rea ended third with a handy 16 points to hold the championship lead ahead of Davies who leapfrogged Sykes into second place just 26 points back.Xavi Fores and Jordi Torres claimed lonely fourth and fifth placed positions while Davide Giugliano beat Michael van der Mark into sixth.
